Similar to airport display terminals, the system shows a daily listing of State and Superior Court case names, case numbers, courtroom numbers and times and can hold information on up to 300 court.
The display terminals are designed to improve the courthouse traffic flow, reduce the time it takes to create court dockets and reduce the amount of paper used to produce court dockets. Two monitors are located on the first floor of the courthouse directly across from the elevators, and one monitor is located on the second floor directly across from the elevators.
Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants fund projects addressing crime
through the provision of services directly to communities and by improving the
effectiveness and efficiency of the criminal justice systems. The $19,585 grant received by Forsyth County included the Infax system, three monitors, cabling and installation, and required no matching funds from the county.
"When we found out grant money was available for technology, we wanted to utilize it to help with the congestion at the courthouse," Circuit Court Administrator Dawn Childress said. "The case names, numbers and locations were not previously posted in the courthouse. I had seen the display terminals in other counties and at court conferences. They assist visitors in knowing where to go without asking the deputies at the front door. "
